Ok,

So they have MPEG videos done up like music videos on the web of Supras, Civics, and even Volkswagons!!! So my idea is i want everyone with a Digital Video Camera to take video of, Burn outs, Street Racing, Inside, driving, night pics, shifting, fly bys, anything that would look insane on a video of Celicas! When you finish it load it into your computer "UNEDITED" e-mail it to me @ RDRULESFAN@aol.com as a *.dv file "DV" Digital Video, so i can use my Hollywood effects maker and make a killer video!!! I am also looking for names of the video to be called, so i am open to suggestions?!

Thanks guys i hope to make this an unbelievable video, so we can have more credibility for our cars!!!

Is your intent to distrubute this on the web? If so, no one needs to turn a video in to you larger than 320*240 and half quality- since when you eventually compress it for web streaming it'll probably be worse looking than that. There's no need to try and get people to send you .mov files in DV codec format- that takes up 3.6 MB a second!

Also, even if people sent you their footage- you sound like you have a digi 8mm- which isn't that common anymore. Most likely you'd get a lot of mini-DV tapes, hi8 tapes, C-VHS, etc etc etc. A format nightmare if you don't have free access to a conversion facilitiy.

Finally, in regards to people emailing you them- whats the max attachment size on your AOL address? I doubt it's more than 5 MB.

Maybe it's best to wait a little while, until club 6gc gets organized. We were talking about a very organized system of sending digi video across the country.
